A sick man lies in bed and must vomit. He is cared for by a servant and a doctor checks his condition. Through the door in the courtyard the personification of the soul neglected by man can be seen being cared for by the devil. Print from a series of four prints about the care of man for the body and the neglect of the soul. Each print with an inscription in Latin, French and Dutch.
